Samir Alam explores the innovative thought behind Sewfree.

The textile industry is perhaps one of the oldest existing trades in the world. From the earliest days of animal hides to modern day nanofibre textiles, technologically, the changes have been exponential. The nature of materials, machinery and design along with manufacturing techniques in the fabrication of textiles has evolved to accommodate the increasingly varied needs of humanity. So, whether humans require fabrics meant for the hottest of climates or the farther reaches of space, there has been an innovation which has made it possible. Today, as technology, in the form of mobile devices and networking, becomes an integral and essential part of the world’s population, the textile technology industry has been working to develop new materials and processes to address this need.

INNOVATING THE SIMPLE

As consumers expect high-tech features in every aspect of their lives, garments are also expected to meet this need. The basic of which is the ability of a garment to drape and fit the wearer’s body in such a way to maximise comfort, movement and style. The key areas of stretch and recovery are always on the top of the list from fashion designers, sports apparel manufacturers and technical textile companies. In this respect, the technology development process demands that the seams and stitches of any construct not only be of fine quality but also waterproof and of bonding strength.
